Chapter 8 The Bookstore
Thor actually didn't know that she had already learned about the connection between the two worlds by her friend Erkoya.
But Alcoa did not come to cause trouble for her.
Next to the crowded street, there is an unpopular bookstore. The owner of the bookstore is a middle-aged man named Track Hupan.
He has a strong bookish aura on his body and is about 1.7 meters tall. In this world, he is not tall, but he is definitely not short.
The wooden floors in the store are spotless, and most of the books placed on the bookshelf are about myths and legends.
Today, as usual, he opened the door of the bookstore, hung up business signs, and waited for customers to come.
A busy person, a depressed and unsuccessful person, a young girl in love, he is not reading books, but just reading people. In recent years, he has seen all kinds of people passing by his bookstore.
"Hi! Hu Pan!" A woman, who was 1.9 meters tall, stood at the door of the store and greeted him.
"What are you doing? Also, don't call me Hupan again." Track Hupan reluctantly raised his head. He was a dead legend, but for some reason, after being resurrected again, he was no longer interested in participating in those disputes.
Now he just wants to open a bookstore quietly and save the lost woman.
By the way, I forgot to say that he only likes women who are taller than him, and his age must be between twenty-seven and thirty-five. It doesn’t matter whether he looks or something, as long as he is a little gentler in his personality.
As for the person in front of him, Long Niang, who had not known how long he had lived, he was not interested.
But Erkoya is interested in him, but in fact he can't be said to be interested, mainly because this guy is completely an unstable explosive pack.
I don't know when it exploded.
After the resurrection, Trakhupan still contains powerful dark energy, and he has lost his divine nature in this world.
A god who has lost his divine nature can no longer be called a god, but even a demigod has the ability to destroy the world.
"Don't be so cold! I'm just here to chat with you." Erkoya patted the desk, then sat on it with her hands on her knees. The desk was customized according to Track Hupan's height, so she could sit on it as soon as she tiptoed.
Track Hupan naturally understood the other party’s purpose and replied bluntly, “I don’t have the idea of destroying the world, and I live a stable life now.”
"I don't want you to disturb my stable life."
"Really? I heard that a new friend has come to this city recently. He is not a stable god, but I searched through the information but found no information about him, so I came to find you." Erkoa said with his eyes narrowed.
"Name?" Track Hupan asked weakly.
"Lin Yi."
"What did you say?"
"Lin Yi, he is a god who fights Odin in another world and does not lose his temper!"
"Don't joke with me, if you do this, you can leave. I can't help you."
It is obvious that Track Hupan has never heard of any rumors or deeds about Lin Yi.
Although I am still interested in it, my lazy body does not intend to take any actual actions.
Erkoya knew that if the other party didn't understand, it would be useless to check the information.
So I said goodbye to the other party simply.
"By the way, you should be careful recently and never be discovered by that God. If you die again, I can't save you for the sake of our two old friends!"
"I understand, I know." The bookish temperament that Track Hupan had pretended to completely dissipated.
He just wanted to deceive women through that temperament. Now he faced this existence that was older than himself and lived longer than himself, pretending to be like this was completely useless.
Alcoa looks dumb, but in fact he is the mediator of these two worlds.
The reason why she could not cause trouble for Lin Yi was for Thor's sake. After all, she heard that Lin Yi had accused the gods of the gods to avenge Thor.
Just as Erkoya left the bookstore, a woman dressed in neutral walked in step by step. The sharp-eyed Track Hupan saw at a glance that the other party was not his own, so she didn't want to pay attention to the other party at all.
You said that the bookstore business is not good, who can you blame?
There is a reason for this!
Of course, Kobayashi was the one who came. She had been looking for books about supernaturalism before. She had just gotten off work and had not had time to catch the tram, so she simply wanted to stroll around the city center.
When I saw a bookstore here, I walked in unconsciously.
"Shopkeeper, are there no classified books here?"
"Um!"
After responding, Track Hupan began to lie on the table again and began to enjoy the wonderful scenery. It is not the best time to enjoy the scenery, only summer!
Summer is the time when he is most energetic.
"This is the damn rainy season." The sky began to drizzle again, and pedestrians on the road quickly found a place to hide. Those with umbrellas also held up umbrellas.
Kobayashi looked out the window and said, "Oh, it seems that I will find a place to stay here tonight."
I immediately shook my head and continued to find the books I wanted on the bookshelf. There were only two rows of bookshelf in the entire bookstore, and each row had five or six layers.
It only takes a few dozen minutes to read all the books in the store from scratch.
All of them are about myths and legends, and there will naturally be about dragons. After all, dragons are also an existence in myths and legends that occupy a place.
"A Brief History of the Dragon Clan?" Kobayashi brought a chair and stood on the chair and took down the book "A Brief History of the Dragon Clan" from the top of the bookshelf.
The writing is black and has wavy lines, and the entire cover is filled with four large characters.
After she jumped off the chair, she wiped the chair and sat on the chair, not caring whether it was clean or not.
When people concentrate on doing something, time will always pass quickly.
In almost a blink of an eye, the sky became completely dark and the rain began to rain heavily.
Track Hupan basically doesn't need sleep, and if he really talks about it day and night, then now is the beginning of his day.
"Hey, it's already nine o'clock, and I'm going to close the store here, so hurry up and find a place to live. You should be here to work here like this. I know it's not easy to make money now, but you can't just keep getting a book, right?"
"Ah!" Kobayashi turned his head and looked out the window. Sure enough, only the dim street lights were left standing in the rain. The rain did not decrease, but instead gave people the feeling that it would take a long time to fall.
"Well, how much does this book cost?" Kobayashi handed out the "A Brief History of the Dragon Clan" in her hand.
Then Track Hupan came to his spirit. His book was derived entirely from its dark power, and he made a profitable deal.
In this era when everything costs money, when you meet a fat sheep like Kobayashi, you will naturally have to slaughter it hard, otherwise you will be sorry for opening a store that he has opened for such a day.
"Well..." Track Hupan thought for a moment before answering, "1 million yen."
He didn't pay for this price by mistake. He considered that the other party might be a white-collar worker in the company based on Kobayashi's professional outfit. Then, looking at her unkempt dress, he guessed that she didn't have a boyfriend and wouldn't spend money on cosmetics.
Finally, we will finalize a price that will make it hurt but will not shrink.
Maybe Kobayashi would be very happy if she knew that she was actually regarded as a white-collar worker by others.
But she really can't afford so much money now, and she doesn't think it takes so much money to buy a book, so she can only walk to the bookshelf and want to put it back.
“Is it expensive?”
"Yeah." Kobayashi nodded firmly.
"Then I'll be cheaper?"
Kobayashi is almost sure that the other party is treating himself as a fat sheep, so don’t underestimate a programmer who can live single for more than 20 years!
"Sorry, I'm disturbing."
"Eh?" Trakhupan also felt that he could make some money today, and then went to Kabukicho, behind the bookstore to have fun.
There, as long as you have money, you can find any kind of woman.
